LIQUID FUEL.

An ingenious apparatus has come into
use for burning liquid fuel. 1t consist
mainly of chamber of suitable size,
closed at the sides, top and bottom, and
having an opening near the top on one
side through which the products Of com
bustion may escape, and suitable draught
openings to supply air. Within the
range or chamber is series of inclined
plates or shelves, over which the liquid
to be burned is allowed to flow, falling
from one to another until it reaches the
bottom CT is consumed. When it is de-
aired to heat water. passages are pro-
vided through which the water is allow
ed to pass and be heated. The apparat-
US enables liquid fluid to be used at a
cost much below that of coal or wood,
and the fire is, of course, readily managed
and regulated. TO build fire it is only
necessary to turn faucet and thrust a
match into the fireplace, and to extin.
guish the fire the faucet is turned off.
The heat is regular, and may be increased
or decreased at will. OF course there is
no ashes nor dirt, and, as the combust-
ion is complete, there is no odor and
but little smoke, The petroleum is
mixed with twenty per cent. of water.

The Tucson Arizona] Citizen re-
lates that short time ago great
horse race was made up between two
bands of the Papago Indians. Vast
mum bers of cattle, ponies, dogs, tin
cans, and other personal property were
wagered upon the result by both sides,
and great crowds of Indians gathered
upon the occasion. The race was run,
and lIiguePs crowbaits won the race
to the chagrin and establishment OF
his SOnoroa cousin, and true to their
words the stakes were turned over to
him, and the defeated Papagoes walked
homeward, sadder but wiser aborigines.
Later ON they learned that MiguePs
men had put pepper in the eyes Of the
Sonora racer, and thereby blinded and
defeated them, and they have applied

There is life, energy and enterprise,
in Kansas people. Less than one year
ago there were cuonties in southwestern
Kansas [Seward. Newton and Ste
vens], which were but wilderness,
To-day they have population oftrom
3 900 to 5000 and towns with pop
uIatiou of 500 or 1000; they have
schools, churches. beautiful residences
and substantial store houses. In
Kansas this is nothing unusual; in any
other state it could not be done. The
railroads realize that Kansas is to be
the hammer state, and they are strug-
Cling to gain the territory During
the year 1886 the total number of
miles of railroads constructed in Kan
sas was more than the combined mile
age of new railroads in the six New
England states, the six middle states,
and the states of Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin. The
growth of Kansaa is, indeed, miracu-
lo1s.
